False Christs, false prophets and false occult authorities
When many people today claim that they are "Christ", prophets or occult authorities whom God has sent to "save" the world, but who have nothing else to offer than their proclamation about this, combined with their disastrous mental persecution, slander and indignant, evil criticism of all other established and principal religions and religious authorities in the world, is it not the pursuit of the satisfaction of an unbridled desire to shine with a "loftiness" that no other beings have that is revealed once again for us? If the opposite were the case, they would not spend so much of their energy on the assertion that they are "Christ" or some other great authority or on the assertion that they have been great and outstanding people in previous lives in social as well as in artistic, religious or intellectual areas, positions that are not in any way reflected or even hinted at in their present behaviour and mental expression, which in the occult area culminates in downright "naivety". Central to the behaviour of these beings is thus the cultivation of their delusion about their "high occult" "past", which thus culminates in the claim that they are "Christ" at the same time as they, from a mental point of view, sneer at all the real authorities around them, the positions of which are a danger to the person who imagines he is "Christ", a danger to his attainment of authority and position. Imagine what a parade of people in "nothing but their shirts", people who are "naked" as far as the occult is concerned, that such arrogant souls put on display!
